BROOM CORN HARVESTER

The above cut represents Mr.. Burk
holders new Broom Corn Harvester
recently alluded to in these columns
As will be seen; it is simple frame,
built so as to rest on top of an ordinary
wagon bed. The wagon is driven SC
that the row of corn passes inside Of
the iron rod which projects from the
lower left hand corner. A man sitting
on the end of the board "2" breaks /,
over nOtched knife fastened to the
board as seen under the rod, and
which cuts it of. He then passes 1,
along the table "3" to the cutters who
sit on board "2'. They cut it, laying
the straight heads on the table"1''
and dropping the crooked heads down
into the wagon box.
This, in brief is the aso1us operandi,
and hroOmcorn raisers will at once see
the many advantages the harvester
offers over the old method. Some of
these advantages may, however, be
briefly enumerated.
1. 1t can be operated with from two
to five hands, two working it with the
same propOrtiOnate advantage rs five.
9. All hands ride.
3. Gait of team may be regulated
according to thickness of corn. thus
enabling men to handle as much brush
in day of thin corn as of thick.
!, The stalks are cut from to
feet high, the brush and cut off stalks
being separated easily and rapidly.
), The crooked and straight brush
are separated without trouble or loss
Of time.
6. Easy on men and team.
I. Each mans labor shows for itself.
leaving 10 chance to shirk.
8. Brush never has to lie out over
night,or be bleached by morning dews
and sun. 1t is loaded as it is cut and
is housed directly from the harvester.
This feature alone Is worth more than
the cost of the implement.
9. Leaves the stalks standing
straight and in good condition for
blowing.
In short, the inventor, af-
ter thorough trial, is certain that the
Harvester will reduce the labor of saw
ing a crop of broom corn from one
third to one half. In order. however,
that broom corn raisers may have a
chance to see for themselves, he asks
US 10 say that the Harvester will be
tried at the farm of H. Busley.14 miles,
north of LaHarpe, next Wednesday
July 20. beginning at one O'Clock. Mr.
Busely has some early corn which will
be ready to out at that time and the
Harvester will be given q
thorough test We would
advise all broom corn growers tn be
present and witness the trial. If the
Harvester does what ia claimed for it,
no farmer can do without it.
As the implement can be made at
slight expense by anyfarmeror mechan-
ic, Mr.. Burkholder will not attempt to
manufacture them but will sell farm
rights at low rates. He will also sell
territory to any one desiring to act as
agent.

few more brisk raps made him drop
his napkin and hastily rush to the

stony determination, though with less
appetite than he had boosted Of

vigorous struggles had alarmed the

also had, on the red library carpet.

the noise, and so entered the room

worked himself into the narrow space

SPRING AND THE HEART.

THE HEART sPEAKs.
Bring me the gold OF gorses from tho hills;
The blooms that clusters thick upon the
thorn;
The marybuds that blow ny meadow rills;
The clover, rosy as the blush of morn.
Scatter thy gifts, o spring with lavish hand,
Thy precious gifts of sunlight, song and dew
Send the bird-voces thrilling through the land
Dress the bare woods in LEAKAGE greece and
new.
Call back the swallows to their haunts again;
Bring the white sails across placid sea;
Bid the young corn spring up In sun and rain,
And let but one small JOY arise for me!
For me--for have lost so many things
While the grim winter reared his icy throne,
Old hopes, old dreams, the CLEAN OF silver
wings,
Passed from my life, and left me dark and
lone.
SPRING SPEARS.
To thee, poor heart come with empty hands,
Mine are but blossoms born OF sun and show
ers;
The hopes thou sceliest grow not on my lands.
And thy dead loves revive not with my flow
ers.
Turn thee toother souls, more sad than thine,
Into their darkness bring the light OF day;
Lead them forth gently into paths divine,
And thou shalt find q blessing on the way
A blessing that shall live when daisies die;
A bliss that fades not when. the sere leaves
fall;
new Joy, faircr than the joys gone by,
And for Its sake thou will forget them all.
